#2024TravelReview ============ 🔆Maldives guide will be released soon 🔆For detailed 10-day itinerary in Maldives, please visit the blog 🔆The next article will introduce the preparations for the Maldives trip ============ . I never thought that I would be wandering on this dreamlike island. Originally planned to go to Greece for Christmas vacation Little did I know that it was the off-season in Greece at that time. So, the longing for the ocean in my heart, It eventually led me to the Maldives, a country I had only heard of in the stories of McDull. I used to think that Maldives was synonymous with high consumption. But unexpectedly discovered that in addition to the luxurious resorts, The real appearance of the inhabited island is even more unique. Here, the sun is shining and the sea is clear and transparent. When I put on my snorkel and dived into the sea, Surrounded by colorful schools of fish, The turtles danced leisurely, Sharks are swimming around me. You can even witness dolphins leaping with joy. The resort is the sublimation of the residential island No cumbersome itinerary, no restrictions on attractions Just endless relaxation and pleasure. Everything in the Maldives brings me closer to the ocean It was as if all the troubles were washed away by the waves. Maldives trip 10 days is just right Before it sinks, I look forward to visiting again💛 . #maldives #maldives #snorkeling #maldivesislands #maafushi #varubyatmosphere #travel #travelblogger #blog #maldivesfreetravel #snorkel

#coupletravel The Maldives was our first stop on the world trip, and you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy it. For example, staying on local islands like Maafushi is a budget-friendly option. Maafushi is located in the Kaafu Atoll, about 26 kilometers (16 miles) south of the capital, Malé. It’s accessible by a 30-40 minute speedboat ride or a 90-minute public ferry from Malé. ▪️Local Island: Maafushi is a local island with guesthouses, offering a more affordable and culturally immersive experience compared to the resort islands. ▪️Pristine Beaches: While it’s a local island, Maafushi still boasts stunning beaches, especially the dedicated “Bikini Beach” where tourists can swim and sunbathe in swimsuits, as the rest of the island adheres to local customs. ▪️Water Activities: The island offers a range of water-based activities, such as snorkeling, diving, jet-skiing, and dolphin-watching trips. It's also a gateway to nearby sandbanks and resorts for day visits. #100waysoftravel #Maafushi #Maldives #LocalIsland #AffordableTravel #SnorkelingMaldives

#100WaysOfTravel #couplestrip #awesomepic #indianocean #beachy #maldives #maafushi Othen than Arena Beach Hotel, the hotel under Kaani group can be one of the top option for you to go for if you are travelling to the Maldives local Maafushi island. Same as Arena, this is a 4-stars hotel as well and also located in front of the bikini beach where you can just wear the bikini to swim here (the only place to wear bikini in Maafushi) and see the sunset directly. Reminder: - Do arrange with the hotel directly for the speedboat transfer at least 3 days in advanced as this is the only way for you to come. Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

#100WaysOfTravel #couplestrip #awesomepic #deliciousfood #maldives #maafushi #indianfood This is one of the sought after Maldivian-Indian food in Maafushi island. This restaurant is just next to our Arena Star Beach Hotel, just a stone walking distance away. The waiter was so friendly and welcoming, even offer us a free drinking water since we just ordered food (actually we just done had a drink at a small stall and we are enough with drinks). We ordered Egg Briyani and Chapati, the taste was great and strongly recommend to come try it out if you are coming over to Maafushi!

#beachcheck #bikinibeach #maafushi #maldives When everyone think of Maldives, it is all about the sun, the sea and swim with bikini !! But, do you know that Maldives is a 100% Islamic country and you will not be allowed to wear bikini at all if you are staying in their local island. Staying in Maafushi, tourism is evolving nowadays and more and more tourists worldwide visiting here to enjoy the beautiful Indian Ocean view and the sun. The only 1 Bikini Beach is then opened just right in front of the famous Arena Beach Hotel and Kaani hotel allowing the tourists to take a sunbath 👍🏻👍🏻 The sea, no doubt is super clear and clean but the sand is not really fine so it is hard to build a sand castle!! Personally i feel great enough as the sunset is super duper beautiful from the beach 👍🏻 Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Maafushi is a beautiful atoll just 30min by speedboat from Male! There are so many activities to max out your exploration of the wonderful underwater world and vast wildlife. From the shore I was lucky to spot the endangered 4 manta rays coming inshore to hunt, and off shore while snorkeling, I was able to spot dolphins, amazing coral life and super huge parrotfish feeding too! It was truly an amazing honeymoon for me without breaking the bank too!#Maldives #beachlife #Maafushi #Paradise #sea

#beachvacation Maafushi is a picturesque island located in the Maldives, known for its stunning white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs. 🤩 It's a popular destination for travelers seeking a budget-friendly Maldivian experience, with a range of guesthouses, water sports activities, and local shops and restaurants. 🤤 Maafushi offers opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and relaxation in a tranquil tropical paradise.🩴 Tips and Tricks ⁉️ 💸If your on a budget, then you still can visit Maafushi island as there are plenty of affordable hotels and guesthouses to stay in. Local shops will give you budget friendly food options to choose from. 💱Maldives accept USD and Maldivian Rufiya. If possible, do not exchange to local currency or if you do try to not exchange excessively. Local banks do not exchange the Rufiya to USD unless you have a receipt for vice versa exchange from that bank. 🛥️There are public and private shuttles that move between islands starting at $3 (1,5 - 2h boat ride) from Male island. 🤷‍♀️Choose your travel time wisely as during holy celebrations like Ramadan most of the places and public service come to a standstill. Enjoy! 💙💚❤️ #SpinTheWorld #maafushi #maldives #backpacking #budget

Restaurant: Mr. Octopus - Your Holiday Chef (Maafushi) Address: Kaani beach Maafushi, 08090, Maldives 《🇲🇻Maldives Food Tour 3️⃣》 After swimming in Dhiffushi, Hawksbill Sea Turtle and Southern Stingray, we took the Public Ferry to the second residential island - Maafushi for a few days. Maafushi can be said to be the most popular residential island in the Maldives🏝 Maafushi is almost half the size of Dhiffushi, the island has more than 3,000 residents, there are nearly 20 four-star or above hotels to choose from, and many can see the sea view from the room🌊. There are also several agents on the island that offer excursions and watersports for you to participate in their activities⛵️, with diving🤿, Parasailing, fishing🎣, snorkeling and more Another characteristic of the Maldives is that there are many street cats around 🐈, even on the island, all the food in the local restaurant is made to order, the serving speed is relatively slow, each meal has to wait for half an hour or even nine words time, for Hong Kong people should be a bit unaccustomed, but playing with the cats at this time is a kind of enjoyment and fun 🥰 After asking several local residents and hotel staff, many recommended this number one restaurant in Maafushi - Mr. Octopus - Your Holiday Chef @mr.octopus.maafushi ✝️Half & Half Pizza (MVR125) Always want to try the most different flavors of pizza at the lowest price🍕? Mr. Octopus has launched Half Half self-selected pizza, which allows you to choose two different flavors from the menu to build a complete pizza. The price is half the price of the two pizzas. Ordered the Alla Genovese and Octopus Pizza, the former used basil green sauce and Mozzarella cheese to make, the latter has octopus grains, tomatoes 🍅, Mozzarella cheese and secret sauce ✝️海鲜炒饭（MVR90） As a coastal country, eating seafood here is believed to be guaranteed, ordered this HK$45 seafood fried rice, containing shrimp 🦐, mussels, fish 🐟, and used a lot of vegetables to fry, both taste and appearance have improved a lot, shrimp chips and a sun egg 🍳, but the shrimp chips are very wet 🤢 Eating on the sand is a major feature, but the attitude of the staff seems to be mediocre. On the day I went, I saw foreign diners complaining and making a fuss🙈 🇲🇻 Travel Tip 1: Hong Kong dollar to Maldivian currency (MVR) is about 1 to 1.97 (e.g. this meal MVR251 is about HKD127), in addition basically all restaurants charge US dollars, but you have to ask what the exchange rate is 😎 🇲🇻Travel Tip 2: 10% service charge for local food in the Maldives, and 6% Goods and Services Tax (from January 1, 2023 will increase to 8%), calculate your budget before eating🤓 🇲🇻 Travel Tip 3: After sitting down, the restaurant will usually give you bottled water, if you don't need it, remember to speak up, because you have to pay 😛 #foodie #urbanexplorer #travel abroad #maldives #maafushi

It is not about only how beautiful and clean the hotel is, its really about how professional the staff the hotel has and how they are dealing with the guests. I spent the most beautiful vacation in that hotel and Maafushi island as well, I did enjoyed my stay at the super clean and well furnished hotel with an amazing location. Furthermore, the friendly staff that I had ever met who made me feel like at home. So I want to thank them seriously for their positive attitude and help, special thanks to Kasun, the guy at the front desk who always there to help and work on how to satisfy the guest's need and meet the guest's expectations. #kaanihotel #maafushi #maldives #beautifulocean #paradise

#springwander #maldives #maafushi Maafushi is a beautiful local island in Maldives which is great to visit for spring season. Visiting here is cheaper than staying in resort islands but the views and activities are pretty much the same. You can also get a local experience here. There are plenty of activities to do here such as snorkeling tours, boat tours, fishing etc. the island is small and no public transport is needed. It is quite close to the Male airport also and is just a 40 minutes ride from there. I highly suggest coming here this spring if you are on a budget.

#springwander #maafushi #maldives Arena Grand Beach is a great four star hotel to have an amazing spring staycation in Maafushi with family or friends. The main highlight of the hotel is its beautiful rooftop infinity pool with beautiful views especially during sunset. You can have snorkeling tours booked directly with the property and there is a variety of options to choose from. Balcony from the room also offers great views. Food is amazing and service is great. All in all, this hotel is a must if you are staying in Maafushi. Do try.

#springwander #maldives #maafushi This March I took a quick getaway trip to Maafushi in Maldives which made the perfect spring escape. Surrounded by turquoise blue water, green palm trees and nice sunny atmosphere , I had an amazing time here. This small local island has so much to offer from snorkeling , fishing to resort day trips. You can either chill on bikini beach or have amazing sea platter at Octopus restaurant. If you are looking for a perfect tropical escape this spring, you definitely need to visit Maafushi. It’s a short ferry from Male. It takes only 35 minutes. You must come here.

I recently had the opportunity to explore the Maldives, and it was truly incredible. The crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and abundant marine life were breathtaking. I went on a tour to observe nurse sharks and even got to swim with them, along with encountering dolphins, rays, and more. For anyone passionate about marine life, the Maldives is an unbeatable destination. I opted for stays in Maafushi and Fuvahmulah for my diving adventures, preferring the authentic local experience over luxury resorts.#Maldives #Maafushi #Diving #Shark

Beautiful beach with with white sand and clear water. Water has the many shades of blue. Sea near beach not very deep. You could see fish, crabs and at night a baby shark here. This beach is on the end of Maafushi island right off of Arena hotel and Kaani resorts. #bikinibeach #maafushi #maldives
